The Clinton campaign says Obama supporters are cheating in the Texas Democratic caucuses, stealing materials, filling them out before the caucuses began, and blocking Clinton supporters who want to join those caucuses. And you can find similar complaints from the other side.

Officials with the Texas Democratic Party say neither campaign has complained to them — they've complained instead to the media.

The Clinton folks aren't saying what they'll do, but held a mid-caucus conference call with reporters to complain about what's going on. Ace Smith, who's heading Clinton's Texas operation, called it "a tremendously disturbing pattern," said the Texas Democratic Party had issued two memos to the Obama campaign today on this subject, and said the reports come from all over the state.

In fact, those memos — included below — were addressed to both parties. And Boyd Richie, the chairman of the state party, talked down the problems. "The Texas Democratic Party has conducted comprehensive preparations and developed a fair and transparent reporting system for this historic caucus turnout," he said. "Texas Republicans only wish they had the kind of “issues” that have been raised by two Democratic campaigns who are working hard for every vote and every delegate."

Lyn Utrecht, a lawyer for the campaign said hundreds of complaints have come in, among them: That Obama supporters were filling out the caucus sign-in sheets through the day, filling them out at polling places, improperly removing "precinct packets" from voting premises, taking over some caucuses and walking Clinton supporters out of those. At one point, Smith corrected his campaign lawyer's reference to the "accusations," saying, "These are not accusations. These are documented instances." The lawyer gave reporters some specific precincts in Houston to look at.

In the middle of the conference call with reporters, Obama campaign general counsel Bob Bauer broke in with a question to the Clinton people, challenging their timing and saying this isn't the first time they've tried to disrupt a caucus with complaints. He suggested "surrogates" for the Clinton camp sued in Nevada during the voting there. And he made a point of saying the complaints come on the heels of Obama victories in a number of states.

The state Democratic Party says sign in sheets that were filled in before the polls closed are invalid and can't be used. They say out-of-state supporters of the two Democratic candidates who show up in Texas to appear at those conventions are ineligible and will be turned away. They say in one memo that the precinct conventions are open to the public and efforts to try to credential people — allowing some, barring some — aren't kosher. And they say packets weren't supposed to be available until 7:15 Tuesday night or after the last person in line in a given precinct voted. Getting into that stuff early is a crime, and they're encouraging people to report violations to the law.
